# Second Quiz [[quiz2]]

The best way to learn and [to avoid the illusion of competence](https://www.coursera.org/lecture/learning-how-to-learn/illusions-of-competence-BuFzf) **is to test yourself.** This will help you to find **where you need to reinforce your knowledge**.


### Q1: What is Q-Learning?


<Question
	choices={[
		{
			text: "The algorithm we use to train our Q-function",
			explain: "",
      correct: true
		},
		{
			text: "A value function",
			explain: "It's an action-value function since it determines the value of being at a particular state and taking a specific action at that state",
		},
    {
			text: "An algorithm that determines the value of being at a particular state and taking a specific action at that state",
			explain: "Q-function is the function that determines the value of being at a particular state and taking a specific action at that state.",
		},
		{
			text: "A table",
      			explain: "Q-learning is not a Q-table. The Q-function is the algorithm that will feed the Q-table."
		}
	]}
/>

### Q2: What is a Q-table?

<Question
	choices={[
		{
			text: "An algorithm we use in Q-Learning",
			explain: "",
		},
		{
			text: "Q-table is the internal memory of our agent",
			explain: "",
      correct: true
		},
    {
			text: "In Q-table each cell corresponds a state value",
			explain: "Each cell corresponds to a state-action value pair value. Not a state value.",
		}
	]}
/>

### Q3: Why if we have an optimal Q-function Q* we have an optimal policy?

<details>
<summary>Solution</summary>

Because if we have an optimal Q-function, we have an optimal policy since we know for each state what is the best action to take.

### Q4: Can you explain what is Epsilon-Greedy Strategy?

<details>
<summary>Solution</summary>
Epsilon Greedy Strategy is a policy that handles the exploration/exploitation trade-off.

The idea is that we define epsilon ɛ = 1.0:

- With *probability 1 — ɛ* : we do exploitation (aka our agent selects the action with the highest state-action pair value).
- With *probability ɛ* : we do exploration (trying random action).

### Q5: How do we update the Q value of a state, action pair?
